[RELEASED] Datablocks - Revolutionary game data manager

Sure! Submit a pull request and I'll pull it in.

 

Is this plugin working for you? For me it stopped loading data completely. With unity 5.6.1 data is not loaded from files and when I'm trying to debug it line by line in Visual Studio it is crashing my editor (. Worse is I do not have any errors at all in console, even nothing in crash log to find a solution

 

Yes, it is working, but it's become a bit strange:

Inheritance doesn't seem to work any longer and I have to Save Project to get the .asset files to update.

 

Where do i do that

 

Hmmm I got another strange behavior. In build or play mode datablock is not loading at all when class is [Serializable] and fields variables inside has [SerializeField]

 

You shouldn't need to make your Datablocks serializable - they already exist as objects that exists and update via the ScriptableObject system

 

Good to know Xelnath. Thanks for explanation.

 

Known Issue:

If you have the Datablock Importer open when you start the game, your Datablock manager will get wiped out, losing all of its blocks.

Doing the following can fix that:

DatablockExporter.cs

Code (CSharp):

1.         protected virtual void OnEnable()
2.         {
3.             // ABRAZIE: 5/30/17 - commented out because they were causing datablocks loaded in the
4.             // Editor to be unloaded.
5.             //if( Application.isPlaying == false && Application.isFocused )
6.             //    DatablockManager.Instance.RefreshAssets();
7.         }
8.  

Alternatively:

DatablockManager.cs

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2.         private void Awake()
3.         {
4.             // If there is already a DatablockManager, destroy this one
5.             if (instance)
6.             {
7.                 if ( instance.datablocks.Count == 0 )
8.                 {
9.                     Destroy(instance);
10.                     instance = this;
11.                 }
12.                 else
13.                 {
14.                     enabled = false;
15.                     Destroy(gameObject);
16.                     return;
17.                 }
18.             }
19.  

 

A PR maybe?

 

Where??

Update:

No longer works with Unity 2017 due to a ROTORZ dependency. You can fix this for yourself by downloading the code and recompiling from:

https://bitbucket.org/rotorz/reorderable-list-editor-field-for-unity/src/

 

This asset is by far the best asset ive used to date for object data management and creation.
It still works for me in unity 2017.1 and .2 beta with no modification to the existing github version linked earlier.
The only problem ive noticed is that filtering an objects visible fields with an array doesn't seem to produce the correct results outside of the default project for some reason.
@Bigpete591 - thank you for releasing it to the community to improve - you sir are a scholar and a ninja coder.
@UnicornForest - wheres that github branch of ingenuity ?

 

Oh wow I didn't realize this project got open sourced! That's awesome @Bigpete591

Sorry guys, I won't be submitting a pull request for the changes I made back in 2015.

I don't want to high jack this thread and spam it with links or anything, but I've been working on a new competing data management framework from scratch and plan on releasing it on the asset store later this year.

If you are interested, pm me, don't ask about it in this thread.

 

Just Love this!! Got this working with playmaker and it works very well. Thanks and big thimbs up @Bigpete591. Its a shame no further dev is being done on it, but even so, its more than useable in the current version.
